Embraer Phenom 100 — very light business jet

The Phenom 100 first flew in 2007 and entered service in 2008. It features a low-wing configuration and modern glass cockpit. The design emphasizes simplicity and reliability.

Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617 turbofan engines producing approximately 1,695 pounds of thrust (7.5 kN) each power the jet. Cruise speed approaches 390 knots (722 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 10,000 pounds (4,536 kg).

The Phenom 100 achieved strong sales in its class. Its combination of performance and comfort made it popular with training providers and private operators. Updated variants remain in production.
